Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Raunds
In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment. An extension in Raunds with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Raunds, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Raunds, about 16 miles from Northampton. Postcode districts we cover here include NN9.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Raunds cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
